Configure default elevation service

You can publish an image that uses Limited Error Raster Compression (LERC) to your GIS server to create an image service. If your GIS server is federated with Portal for ArcGIS or if you add the service as an item to the portal, the portal administrator can configure the portal to use that image service as the default elevation service in the scene viewer.

Publish an image service

Publish an image service from ArcMap that contains the elevation data for the area you want to set for your portal's default elevation service. See Publish an elevation image service in the ArcGIS for Server help for instructions.
